MUNICH: Karl Heinz Riedle is a household name for Borussia Dortmund followers. Having guided Dortmund to two back-to-back league titles in 1995 and 1996 and helped them win the Champions League in 1997, he served Bundesliga as one of its shining stars in the 1990s.
However, it was his move to Lazio which took him closer to meeting two of "the craziest talents" in world football and even after three decades, he is still in awe of them. First, as an opponent, he was witness to the Diego Maradona mania which engulfed Napoli and Italy. Then arrived on Riedle's football horizon as a Lazio teammate, one Englishman who answered to the name of Paul Gascoigne.
